A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

    To step it up even further, if using a duress pin, stick it on a note inside your phone case. Don’t say a goddamn word aside from asking for a lawyer, and when they inevitably find the written code and try it out, that’s entirely on them.
